large, number ot members were in at
tendance. In the early part of the even
ing the singers, under the leadership of
Professor Birgfeld, rendered some pleas
ing selections, after which a time of so
ciability was spent by the members.'
The occasions of. their monthly socials
are very pleasant to the members of the
society.
Hard times are beginning to make in
roads on the lega'j profession. Last
week an attorney Irom Butte, who was
down on his luck, stopped in The Dalles
and was assisted to Portland through
the benevolence of local attorneys. This
morning a barrister from our sister state
appeared upon the scene and solicited
aid because of his demoralized finances.
Ill health and bad investments are what
brought him to the condition of having
to ask assistance from the profession
He was helped by some of his compas
sionate brethern.
The weather is all that could be de
sired for the work at the locks. So far
this- winter there have been but few
days when outside work could not be
carried on to advantage. When the
snow storm of last month came, it was
thought work would be hindered, and
' preparations were made to put thinga in
winter quarters. The scare waa not
lasting, however, and the engines and
men are at work again. Unless the
rest of the winter , ia unusually disa
greeable,' the contractors cannot com
plain but what Nature has favored
them.
Tomorrow evening the lecture of Hon,
D. P. Thompson will occnr at the Con
gregational church. The subject will
be "The Holy Places of Palestine," and
will be replete with personal observa
tions of the lecturer. Mr. Thompson
has traveled extensively, and used his
powers of observation to their limit.
This will be fourth lecture in ibe winter
Course, and will prove one of the most
interesting. Mr. Thorn pson has lectured
before to Dalles audiences, and made a
pleasing impression. Doors wiil open
at 7 :30 tomorrow night, the lecture to
begin at 8.
A. S. Bennett left Saturday evening
for Washington, D. C, where he goes to
argue some cases in the United States
supreme court. Among the cases in
which he will appear is the case of
Skottowe vs. the railroad company, be
ing an action for damages growing out
of an accident which happened in The
Dalles several years ago. While walk
ing at night on the railroad bridge lead
ing to the shops, Mr. and Mrs. Skottowe
tell off the bridge and sustained injuries,
from which Mr. Skottowe died, and
which caused Mrs. Skottowe great suf
fering. ,Tbe case waa first tried in The
Dalles, and has passed through various
courts, till it is now in the highest tri
bunal in the land.
January and February are generally
regarded, as quiet months in business
circles, being between two lively periods,
the holidays and the opening of the
spring trade. The weather is generally
more or less unpleasant, and the farm
ers come to town no oftener than ia nec
essary, while city folk like the comfort
of home better than the slush of the
streets or the feeling of the atmosphere
when the thermometer ia lying low.
With business quiet, more attention is
giyen to social affairs, and these two
months society rules. The latter part
of December, with ita three large dances,
was a lively period socially, and ' the
present month promises well in that
line. Some large affairs are being con
templated, while a number of smaller
functions , will occur. ' Several after
noon parties are on the list, and alto
gether the devotees of society need have
no complaint but that they will be
treated well in tne present season.
The clothing merchants have agreed
to close their houeee of business at 7
o'clock on evenings except Saturday
from now until March 1st. In Satur
day's issue it was said that Mr. Stephens
would close his store at an early hour,
but it should have been stated that the
other merchants will join in the early
closing movement. The mistake arose
in misunderstanding the notice which
Mr. Stephens gave the paper. This
early closing movement is a wise one,
one and will give employers and clerks
more time for recreation, and just as
much business will be done in the course
of the day. We hope to see the early
closing become general in all the busi
nesa houses of the town. ;
The Iodians'up at "Turn water are fall
ing in line with their more civilized
brothers and sisters in The Dalles, and
indulging in social festivities. Last
night a dance waa held at Tumwater,
which was attended by the Cehlo, Turn
water and Dalles Indians. " Old Joe,
who ia our informant, says the dance
was a "tennas" affair, as there are but
few Indians now in the country, and
judging from Joe's description, the
dance did not have the eclat that such
affairs possessed in. the early days, The
smell of salmon was more noticeable
than the odor of war paint if war paint
has any odor and the braves and
squaws did not dance with the same
vigor as did their ancestors of fifty
years .ago. However, the dance kept
up all night, and the boys went home
with the girls in the morning.
Last Saturday evening a meeting was
held in the First Baptist phurch to see
what could be done towards organizing
a Lutheran church, at which both Eng
lish and Lutherans could worship.
Quite a number of people attended the
t meeting and the opinion expressed was
unanimous that an endeavor should be
made to form the organization. A tern
porary committee, consisting of Messrs.
Nickleson, Hansen and Melquist was
appointed to take charge of the prelimi
nary arrangements. It ia probable ar
ticles of incorporation' will be prepared
and filed within a few days. It is the
intention to secure church property at
an early date. Next Tuesday evening
preaching will be held, after which the
business session will reconvene and mat
ters further discussed. So far the out
look ia bright for the organization of the
church.
The secretary of the Commercial Club
has received a letter from Mr. J. H. D.
Gray, of the Astoria Chamber of Com
merce, relative to making arrangements
for celebrating the opening ot the locks,
The letter states that the people of As
toria are taking great interest in the
completion of the undertaking that will
free the Columbia from The Dalles to
the sea, and are anxioua to co-operate
in celebrating the affair in a fitting
manner. Mr. Gray suggests that the
Commercial Club of The Dalles appoint
one or two gentlemen who will meet in
Portland a like number from Astoria,
and that this joint committee obtain all
possible information as to the day when
the contractors expect that boata will
pasa through the canal. Astoria people
are anxioua fhat our commercial club
consider the matter at an .early date and
make ready to co-operate in a jollifica
tion. "Astoria," says Mr. Gray, "will
send two or three boat-loads of people
to witness the first boat go through the
locka." '

The lecture of D. P.- Thompson will
not take place this evening as advertised
owing to the failure of Mr. Tbompson.to
arrive. ' As no word haa been received
from him, the reason cannot be given.
The date to which the lecture ia post
posted will be announced later.
Robert Mays, Jr., started for Ante
lope yesterday morning and got aa far
as Boyd, when in going down a hill, the
tongue broke and pushing against the
horses, they started to run, and for a
few minutea the driver had an interest

turned to town to get a new start.
The Woodmen have' sixteen candi
dates to install tonight. This order haa
increased 2500 in this jurisdiction in
December, They had only ten assess
ments last year and have none for Janu
ary. This shows a very good condition
of the order. They have a membership
in The Dalles of 125.
This morning a train of twenty-eight
loads left The Dalles for Portland. In
the engine cab with Engineer Randall
eat Master Mechanic Graham, while in
the caboose were Supt. O'Brien and
Chief Dispatcher Campbell. The train
waa an experiment, aa such a long one
and so heavily loaded bad not gone out
of The Dalles before with only one en
gine pulling it. In the interests of econ
omy, the railroad management is seek
ing to increase the number of cars on
each train without increasing the ex
pense of labor. The freight train this
morning was too heavy for the engine
and the "doubling up" process was
found necessarv. The crew was com
pelled to divide the train near Crate's
point and the engine took one-half to
Rowena and then returned for the re
mainder. While the trial this morning

The different churches were well at
tended yesterday. Rev. J. N. Goes
